Groundswell: Oral History for Social Change is an emerging network of oral historians, activists, cultural workers, community organizers, and documentary artists. We use oral history and narrative in creative, effective and ethical ways to support movement building and transformative social change. Our mission is to build the creativity and power of social justice movements by providing mutual support, training and resources in the practice of grassroots oral history.

Oral Historians for Social Justice (OHSJ) is a group of oral historians interested in the connections between oral history and social justice that first came together at the 2009 Oral History Association conference in Louisville.
